Abstract :
"Despite the Global Food Crisis of 2007-8, the coming famine hasn\´t happened yet. It is a looming planetary emergency...it is arriving even faster than climate change." That\´s the vision of famine that awaits us, says Australian science writer Julian Cribb. And he\´s far from alone. "The world is in transition from an era of food abundance to one of scarcity," says the environmentalist Lester Brown.
